Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 cup glutinous white rice (sushi rice)
1 ½ cups water
¼ cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 (1 ounce) package nori (dry seaweed)
1 medium avocado, thinly sliced
1 (8 ounce) farmed Atlantic salmon
3 stalks green onions, halved lengthwise
¼ cup sriracha mayonnaise (Kikkoman)
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 teaspoons black sesame seeds
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
½ teaspoon wasabi paste, or to taste
1 tablespoon pickled ginger, or to taste
Directions
Rinse rice in a strainer under cold running water until water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, combine rice wine vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Remove and allow to cool. Stir vinegar mixture into the cooked rice – rice will dry as it cools. Allow rice to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Place a sheet of nori onto a sushi mat. Place about 1/2 cup rice on top and, using a rice paddle, spread rice onto the nori sheet.
Flip nori over so rice is facing down. Arrange 3 to 4 avocado slices, about 2 ounces salmon, 1 strip green onion, and 2 teaspoons Sriracha mayonnaise down the middle of the nori sheet.
Carefully, but tightly, roll nori up by closing in on the ingredients to form a roll. Drizzle each roll with hoisin sauce and more Sriracha mayonnaise and sprinkle with both types of sesame seeds.
Slice each sushi roll into 8 pieces. Serve with a dollop of wasabi and pickled ginger on the side.
Cook's Note:
If you like, you can garnish the rolls with some masago (fish roe).
